Dwayne Johnson pledges to stop using real guns on his productions in wake of 'Rust' movie set tragedy.

LOS ANGELES - Dwayne Johnson's new movie for Netflix,"Red Notice," stars three of the biggest celebrities on the planet — Johnson, Ryan Reynolds and Gal Gadot — and is one of many Hollywood films that feature firearms for the sake of action-packed storylines.

Johnson, who has to handle firearms in"Red Notice," says he will only use rubber guns on his sets, and will enforce that rule with any studio he is working with. "I love the movie business," Johnson said."There are safety protocols and measures that we have always taken in the movie business and we take very seriously, and these sets are safe sets, and we're proud of that. But accidents do happen.

Also at Wednesday night's premiere, the film's director, Rawson Marshall Thurber, and Hiram Garcia, president of production at Seven Bucks Productions, spoke to Variety about the importance of safety measures when handling guns on sets, such as"Red Notice." "I think the rest of the industry has felt the ripples," Garcia said."I know, for us, going forward, we're never going to deal with live guns again on-set at all, even for blanks — it's just not necessary. Forever, moving forward, we're going to use rubber guns because it's just not necessary."
